Fair enough, the post above yours has a link to [NUT]s guide. But it cannot be done in a FTF, only a flashable zip

Ok dunno if anyone else has had this problem and I hope someone can help me.
Upgraded from 14.2.A.0.290 last night.
Noticed a big problem today.
After completing a phone call the sounds for text message, and other alerts only come from the ear speaker instead of the normal speaker at the bottom of the phone.
I reboot the phone and then sounds come from the main speaker as normal again.
But as soon as after I have made or received a phone call the message and alert sounds only come from the ear speaker again.
However the key press sounds/ticks, unlock sound, etc DO come through the main speaker correctly so it is only the alerts going to the wrong speaker.
It is very annoying as it is so quiet I cant hear any messages come in.
Has anyone had this issue, and any suggestions for a solution?
Many thanks

Read the whole thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692357. I don't think there's a solution and Sony has to fix it in the next update.

Hmm.
Maybe I will go back to 14.2.A.0.290 then.
Lucky I did a backup in TWRP before flashing the update.
Thanks anyway for your reply.
Sadly the problem is still here, battery drains extremely fast, take just some hours to discharge it, even after many days of using, same with the official stock ROM, if i reflash it with the 4.3 i don't have it, there is something wrong with the 4.4.2 ROM

Battery life is perfectly fine here. 10% drained in about 5 hours, listening to music, playing games like ingress and candy crush, etc. That would give me 500 hours on a full charge, I'd say that's pretty damn good.

I've tried to reset my phone in settings and that seems to be better, i hope that did the trick!
Mine is an unlocked bootloader. does unlocked bootloader cause this? I tried again, but still failed. Camera still does not work.

If you have an unlocked bootloader, then try the following:
- Create a good backup of everything including the contents of your internal storage;
- Flash the FULL 681 FTF wiping everything;
- Boot it until you can try the camera;
- Flash the XZDR kernel package (2.7.101);
- Flash the latest SuperSU in recovery.
Done!
If you wish you can restore userdata afterwards, it should not break the camera when you do.
ok. i went in to the nut xperial files site. there is one thats says xzdr and another locked dual recovery.If you have an unlocked bootloader, then try the following:

I used twrp to flash z1-dualrecovery-2.7.101.Zip on 681 rom with dualrecovery-2.7.100 which cause phone can't power up. Why?

Wife and I, both with z1, have the sound issue i.e when I get a call sometime the sound comes out the bottom speaker, even tho not on speaker phone. Also music once plugged into headset, unplug it will always come out bottom speaker. Games that usually have sound from bottom comes out the ear piece. This is bad from Sony.

You need to fastboot flash the boot.img inside the zip (open with winzip, look inside tmp/, flash in flashtool), then flash the zip from any built in recovery to finalize the installation.
Can't power-up is too vague timberwolf... please be more specific, what does it do, when does it do what ever it does and what, if anything, does still work?
One solution I've see pass by is to disable/remove the the Sony Smart Connect software, it seems to need an update for KK.

In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
If you are unable to download torrent files directly, have http://zbigz.com/ do it for you!

Want to deodex?
Use the packages from this thread by @RHBH :good:
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
- Restore any JB 4.2.2 FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
- Root it using any means you are familiar with.
- Install XZDualRecovery;
- Update to 14.2.A.1.136;
- Then try to update again using TWRP.
- If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.
Thank you

Camera problems?
You have 3 things to try to fix it, try them one at a time:
- Clear dalvik-cache only;
- Clear the camera app settings;
- Do a factory reset in TWRP or PhilZ (this should keep your internal storage safe);
- flash the ROM package again;
- boot until you can test the camera;
- If it works go back to recovery to restore a backup of data.
Easy switching between locked and unlocked bootloader states!
NOTE: USE TWRP ONLY for this guide.
NOTE 2: You NEED to have XZDualRecovery 2.7.43 or higher to make this work.
- Create a backup, including the Trim Area (TA!)
- Unlock your bootloader
- Restore backup without TA
- Create a new backup of your UNLOCKED TA
- Restore the previous TA backup to relock your phone.
Done :good:
Now you can switch between locked and unlocked bootloaders quick and painless: no more system wipes and you can basically do whatever you want
How to enable init.d support:
Open a filemanager app and navigate to the location where the XZDualRecovery folder is located and go in to it. Open XZDR.prop as a text file and set dr.initd.active to true.
NOTE: For this guide ROM it means the init.d script called 99SuperSUDaemon will kick in to action, so it's best to disable (by setting chmod 644) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh for the time being or to clear it's contents.
Done
Downgrading to a 4.2 ROM:
Download C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT].ftf (Bittorrent: 770MB) and flash it using FlashTool. I've also added the FTF to the downloads page on this DevDB tab, this will allow straight downloads as well.
This FTF will allow you to downgrade to .534 without loss of your IMEI :good:
Thanks to @mharckk and @MohammadAG for the workaround which contributed to the creation of this FTF.21ROM PATCH: C69XX_14.3.A.0.681.patch.zip (9.15MB)
Download, unpack, run the install.bat and follow instructions.
Uploading the revised ROM packs now, including the C6906 and C6943 versions. If you already have this ROM package installed, just use the patch to fix it.20Oh yes, I owe the C6943 and C6906 users an explanation on why I didn't release a package for you yet:
Because of the issues with the camera (which I believe to have found a solution for) and the recoveries not being able to mount the system partition writable, there is no easy way to fix the camera issue.
I've been trying to find a solution for the recovery issue, I've narrowed it down a lot but a real solution eludes me still
Usually I start development on the main device (the one with the biggest userbase, preferably able to speak a decent word of English) to debug issues. I was able to acquire the C6902 version and after some initial testing I deemed it safe to release. Well... I was wrong: I never tested the camera, which was a bug (note the was) my phone also experienced. I did try to enter recovery, but it never dawned on me to try mounting stuff: there was nothing to test flash on KK yet...
Lessons learned for the next update I'd say.
As soon as I manage to fix the recovery issues I will release the C6906 and C6943 version. I did not forget you. I already downloaded the FTF files but decided to wait with the release to make sure your recoveries would work from the get-go.
